OOT- help me get my wife a mother\'s day gift
This will be my wife's first mother's day. We've been married 4 years and this is our first baby. What should I get her for up to $100 or so? She still has a gift certificate for a massage she hasn't used so that's out. Flowers are kind of lame and overdone so I don't want to do that either. I'm kind of stumped. Help me OOT.

Maybe check out some concerts in the area. Or buy her a nice summer book and some earplugs and tell her you will take care of the baby whenever she wants to sit down for an hour and read it in peace.
I usually think its dumb when people buy mother's day gifts for their wives, etc. but this seems like a good exception. |

If you hadn't already given her a "gift" you wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Just kiddin' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: OOT- help me get my wife a mother\'s day gift
I bought my wife a frisbee for when we take this kids frisbee golfing. of course I'm unemployed and the $15 was about the limit of what I was willing to spend which makes it a bit harder to pick out a gift.
Plus when I suggested the frisbee idea to my 8 year old he loved it, so really he got her a frisbee that I paid for |

i'm an esl teacher in taiwan, and here's something sweet i found for my kids to do. it might not really be best for op, but for others it might be good. best thing is it's cheap! lolz!
get a little box and wrap it nicely. affix card to outside with the following text: This is a very special gift That you can never see The reason it's so special is It's just for you and me. Whenever you are lonely Or are ever feeling blue You only have to hold this gift And know I'm hugging you. You never can unwrap it, Please leave the ribbon tied, just hold the box close to your heart It's filled with hugs inside. pretty much guaranteed to make mama, if not cry, very happy. |

You could get her one of those little mini ipod nano things, they're like 79$ and they come in pink! i got my mom a pink ipod nano (the one with the screen) and they engraved it for mother's day, but i think that's a little out of your budget.
4_2, Cheryl & Co. is SO. GOOD. holy crap especially the crazy flavored ones like strawberry with strawberry frosting and pumpkin with cinnamon frosting [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] This sort of reminded me of...... I'm pretty sure my wife would SMASH me if this was *all* she got for Mother's day......squeezing out two puppies the size of a bowling ball through something the size of a sausage has got to be worth more than an empty box!! lol I'm gonna go with 1) Flowers (std) 2) Mushy card 3) Ipod 4) Cook dinner and ACTUALLY watch the kids for her the entire day 5) Secks her for more than 15 minutes |

I have put in the cookie request for Father's Day. |
